Due to Megalyn Echikunwoke previous committments to an upcoming Showtime drama starring Jamie Foxxx, she was unavailable to reprise her role as Mari McCabe aka Vixen for season 2 of DC's Legends of Tomorrow (although she's still voicing the character for season 2 of the animated CW Seed series).  

This forced the show's executive producers to change their original plans but they developed a pretty interesting alternative centered around the fact that the Tantu Totem is a mystical African artifact (which bestows its weilder with various physical abilities from the animal kingdom) that's passed down from generation to generation.

Enter Amaya Jiwe, Mari's grandmother and the previous owner of the Vixen persona.  She'll be played Maisie Richardson -Sellers.  Check out some new concept art below that was shared by the show's executive producer, Marc Guggenheim.

@DrLight - Where have you been the last few months?

@JonTargaryen94 -

In an emotional coma and subsequent rehabilitative therapy with my shrink from the pure nirvanic shock of seeing Spider-Man realized on screen for what my stubborn mind will now accept as his only live action appearance!

@DrLight - Good Lord... after seeing Cap in the MCU 5 times, this costume truly is horrendous!

@megabatfan - It literally kills my enjoyment of the first Avengers film a little. Imagine a Russo esque suit in the OG Avengers movie? Perfection! Even the First Avenger Suit would be better. I swear if it wasn't for the Russo's only god knows what Joss would've done with Caps suit in AoU.

It's just the mask that's the problem.

@Luminus - True! But you gotta admit.. the other Cap suits a simply perfection

@Chaos200 - Well, in Joss' defense, he did course correct the suit in AoU, which is basically the same in Civil War

@megabatfan - Of course.

It's a CW show. You can't expect a second rate network like HBO to have the same resources as a high quality premium channel like the CW.

...wait, what did I say?

Great art. Love Vixen in this universe. I hope her grandmother is great too. CW should think about getting a Vixen show to round out the last night of Friday for comic book shows or have it on Sundays since Friday is a death slot night.

Who was the idiot who thought that leather was an appropriate material for a superhero costume? And more important, why they keep using it?

@dubjon - it looks better than body stockings

And it's cheapish. I think leather is just fine. Those movie suits are extremely expensive you know.

Kind of gives me a Black Panther vibe due to the teethed necklace and the backstory...
